Ninni Pagano (1969) - La scala del cosmo

Ninni Pagano was born in Catania. Always passionate about Wunderkammer and everything that nature offers in its beauty, this passion led him to study under master Antonio Sciacca, his teacher. It was in 2011 that his artistic career began, gradually gaining recognition and earning the respect of critics such as Aldo Albani, Roberta Filippi from the Orler gallery, Philippe Daverio, and Daniele Radini Tedeschi. In 2016, his name appeared in the prestigious American guide Guide Museums Galleries Artists. After participating in two contemporary art Triennials in Rome, with his works published in Mondadori catalogs, in 2020 his name was included in the prestigious Atlas of Contemporary Art by De Agostini.

Consciousness and perfection, that which is called Ascension. The work is part of the 'watches' series.


Watch Series
In this series called 'Clocks,' the artist explores the different meanings of time, including its irreversible nature and the linear or cyclical conception. For the linear conception, time is a hand that advances, with a beginning and an end, a sense tied to history and salvation. In contrast, the cyclical conception perceives time as a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Ninni Pagano views time as a precious resource for personal growth, transformation, and discovering one's potential, aiming to transcend the perception of linear time to live in the present and connect with the eternal.
